Thanks to the convenient location and recent surge in popularity Holešovice is home to an eclectic group of students, international expats, and locals alike. In this up-and-coming district, you can find:
- Trade Fair Palace National Gallery
- DOX Contemporary Art Centre
- Jatka 78 Cultural Space
- Výstaviště – the city’s premier fairground and exhibition space.
